@ala2621:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
When you get your attached picture while trying to install Win10 onto the NVMe SSD, you have to click onto the "New" button and to create a target partition for the OS (later drive C:) with your desired size.
After having done that, the Win10 Setup will create the other required very small sized partitions (incl. the EFI one with the Windows Bootloader) by its own and will already highlight the target (biggest sized) partition for the OS installation.
If you should get nevertheless the information, that the chosen target disk drive is not bootable, you obviously have missed the required BIOS settings to allow booting off the NVMe SSD in UEFI mode (e.g. by disabling "Secure Boot" and "Fast Boot").
Good luck!

Hi @Fernando, I have also tried just like what you have said, but the result is still the same: the same error message and i cannor proceed the installation.
I am certain that the setup did not create the other two small sized partitions,
Also my bios does not have the secure boot and fast boot options,
Btw, my mobo is a biostatr TZ68K+.

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since you obviously had posted your request into the wrong Sub-Forum ("Offer: Already modded special BIOSes"), I have moved your request into this much better matching thread.
Please follow carefully the guide, which is within the start post of this thread.
Good luck!

This indicates, that you didn't boot off the USB Flash Drive containing the desired Win10 Image in UEFI mode.
You have to make sure, that the Boot Manager shows the name of the USB Flash Drive with a prefix "[UEFI]". Choose that one and try the OS installation once again.

@Pitchblack525:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

The mainboard manufacturers usually do not add the NVMe support into the BIOS of Intel 8-Series Chipset mainboards. So you probably need to flash a BIOS, where the missing NVMe module has been inserted.
We generally do not modify BIOSes upon request. Otherwise it wouldn't have made sense to write so many BIOS Modding Guides.
Please follow the guide, which is layed down within the start post of this thread.
If you are unsure, whether you have inserted the NVMe module correctly into the BIOS, feel free to attach it as *.ZIP or *.RAR archive. Then we will do a look into your modded BIOS and tell you the result of our inspection.

Did you get Windows 10 to install yet? If not, do a search for "we couldn't create a new partition windows 10". I found that there were issues with people having other drives connected to their PC's, even SD cards.
Are you certain that the Windows 10 install USB was created correctly?
Considering that you have installed to the NVMe SSD with other drives connected, I would secure erase the drive. If you don't have a version of Parted Magic that supports erasing NVMe drives, you can use diskpart when you get to the Windows 10 install screen.

I did as you were, but I didn't upgrade the motherboard.

@53ahmet:
The insertion of the NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs module has been done absolutely correct.
Good luck for the flashing procedure!

Hi @Fernando nice guide. I successfully modded my Asus Maximus Hero VI to include nvme support. I see the new HP ex920 para drive and can install Windows 10 on it no problem.

My issue is I use Windows 7 and I followed your guide for installing Windows 7 injecting the Usb3 support and copied several of the nvme drivers but no success.
No matter which .inf I load my HP EX920 1Tb is not seen by Win7 x64 installation...
Is there any solution for us w/ HP EX920 and Win7?

Thank you!

Yes, you have to integrate the MS NVMe Hotfix for Win7.

Do you have a guide for this as well? I tried to download the hotfix from MS and it says it�s not available anymore.

Maybe someone kept a copy?

With the hotfix applied I don�t need to load any NVMe drivers then?

No matter what I try the UEFI image is not useable through UEFI tool, I have extracted it with WINRAR, 7zip and win zip no method works for making the file useable.
